If you are lucky enough to live in Long Beach, CA, you know that the weather is beautiful, the beaches are plentiful and there is always something to do. Whether you're a music lover, art officianado, sports participant or viewer, or a food guru, you'll have a wide array of Long Beach events to attend and enjoy throughout the year. You don't have to live in Long Beach to enjoy all the festivities. Let me give you a few reasons to come for a visit and quite possibly, you'll be tempted to make Long Beach your home.
Summer is possibly Long Beach's best time to shine and this summer Long Beach is rockin' & rollin' with tons of festivals and fun for everyone of all ages. Kicking off the 3-month long International Sea Festival, this weekend is the Bayou Festival complete with 3 days (June 22-23-24, 2007) of Louisana music, food and culture. Cajun and Zydeco artists will perform live, as well as live blues and jazz. There will be a full-blown Mardi Gras parade, kids arts & crafts, dance lessons and authentic Cajun, Creole and other cultural foods. The Bayou Festival is being held at Rainbow Lagoon Park along the shoreline of downtown Long Beach.
Also beginning on June 23rd and running through July 15th, is the 9th Annual Shakespeare Festival with performances free to the public on the front lawn of the Long Beach Aquariumof the Pacific in downtown Long Beach. Pre-show festivities start at 6:00 P.M. and the performance at 6:30P.M. Arrive early with you picnic and a blanket or sand chair!
Looking for some sports action? How about the Sinjin Beach Volleyball Collegiate Open? Or would Concerts in the Park be more up your alley? If none of the above suits your interests, you might like Pier Daze, Seafood & Pirate Festival, the Pacific Open Water Challenge, or Boys and Girl's 14's U.S. Tennis Assoc. National Open. And that is just a partial listing of events in June. For more on upcoming Long Beach Events.........
